By Coxe, M.A. r.s.A. Archdeacon of TtiNGNIAN, MIAs it.LLS, ORME, and BnowN, Pate:nos ter-ruw, (Cotainutd.frorn Tr' SoN of yesterday.) in no psrt of this work-hos the Author shewn more ability, than in his description of the Junta of IVhigs, composed of Somens and EIALIF•Ax, the two p4trous of Science and letters, WitAwrotq, Oapoan, and SUNDEULAND. Though stigmatized by 114•LINotsaotca as the scavenger of the party, W.nAftToN possessed high political talents, 31111, by lass versatile powers of eloquence, was Calelll3teil to command unbounded popularity. Lord OR FORD was chiefly remarkable for his naval reputa tion; and of Lord SUNDERLAND it appears to have been the prominent distinction, that lie, for ialex;bie attachment to the Whigs, was an -object of suspicion to his illustrious father-in law, the Duke of MARLBOROUGH, and long ex• chided from all participation in the Royal favour. " These feuds of the contending parties, and the cabals of tl►eir agents, continued to perplex the Duke in the midst of bi• military operations ; for to him an appeal was made, ge nerally mid individually, from the sovereign herself to the rneaneshcandidate fur (Alice: The moderate Torie , , through the medium . of Harley, deprecated the gradual encroach /vents of the Whigs ; while the latter recriminated, through the agency of Sunderland and the Duchess. G-►dolphin re curred to him for consolation and advice, in his contentions hit .he rival chiefs. as well as in his frequent struggles against the antipathies of the Sovereign. The Queen her self also resorted to him, as to a servant of congenial senti ments and approved fidelity, and solicited his interposition to defend her prerogative. and rescue her from what she deemed personal degradation. Above all, the Duchess ex patiated on the ill-rewarded zeal and steady patriotism of the Whigs, anti - lavished her sarcastic reflections nn his po litical infatuation, and imprudent partiality to his Tory friends. " In these circumstances we find him constantly employed in parrying the suggestions of Sunderland, soothing the complaints of Harley, encouraging and tranquillizing Godol phin, exhorting the Queen to sulnnit to the necessity of her aff,irs, and above all, in combating the arguments, and re veiling the acihnonious taunts, of the Duchess. " In fact, the sarcastic reflections of his wife made a deeper impression on t►is sensitive mind than ail his other embarrassments; and in his correspondence with her we trace a perpetual struggle between his irritability and conju- Kai tenderness. Two extracts will sufficiently indicate the `trine which occasionally prevailed in their . epistolary inter 0011rSe. ' .Ifelrert, iluguat 3. I received yonr's of the 17th, yester.lay, in which you com plain of my having writ a cold letter, which you think may he occasioned by one I had then received from yon. It is roast certain that upon many occasions I hack the spleen, and am weary of my life; fur lay friends givu me mod) nactrik uneasiness than my enemies, as you may guess by a copy of a letter I have sent to my Lord Treasurer. lint for you, my ileavest tife, I love yon so well, and Wee placed ail my hap . piness in ending my days with you, that I would venture ten thonsvnd lives to pee , ervc your good opinion. You some 'times use the expression of sac Tory friends. As I never will "niter into party and faction, I bog you will he. so kind'and jute to we, .as to believe that I will have no friends hitt such as will support the Queen and Government.' Mr. Coxs has given a spirited sketch of that Memorable campaign in Spain, in whirl) the gal. law PI rzustortovoit proved himself worthy to eo. operate with MkRLBOIitotTGH. The two following )cters, one of which is addressed to the Countess of PETEaßottooGn, and the other to the Duchess of MARLBOROUGH, are highly characteristic of the bunsourons writer :-- " 14 ,, 11D PETEItBOROUOSI TO HIS L.IDY.

We marclied with a thousand men thirteen hours, and with sealing ladders took a place upon a rock, much stronger than Portsmouth, and had hut eight hundred men, two having lost us in the night.

Having formerly mentioned the *exaltation of ATAFttsoxouon to the ifignity,of a Prince of the Roman Empire, we subjoin the following enrions details respecting the principality of Alintlel helm " It derived its appellation from a castle and town of the same name, situated ma the riser NlfiodefOr Mindel. It forms part of the circle of Suabia, and - the district of Algow. " In the early periods of German history, the lordship of Nlindelheie► belonged to the family of Schwigger, who were called Knights of Min►'elberg, a castle built on a hill, to the north of the present town. - By this family the town of Min delbeim, if not founded, was enlarged and beautified, and endowed with a monastery, which in later times was appro priated by the Jesuits. " The male is.nte of the Schwiggers failing in the third ge neration, Walter of Hochschlitz, Lord of Kilheim in the Halle, and Bishop of Augsburg, obtained possession of the territory, though by what right is not ascertained. Soon af terwards the inhabitants of Augsburg raising the standard of rebellion against their Bishop, chose for their Captain Fre deric, Duke of Trek, who, in 1372, conquered the lordship of Mindelbeim. The Prelate, in attempting to recover *the town, was killed by a poisoned arrow, and Frederic retrtined possession without disturbance from his relatives. He built a castle on the neighbouring heights, to which he gave his own name of Tea., He resided here twenty years, and con tinued to enlarge and improve the town. His son, Ulric, founded the cathedral, in which his ashes are deposited, as well as those of the succeeding Lords. " Frederic left eight suns, whoa!l died.without male issue, and on the decease of the last survivor, Louis, Patriarch of Acqultia, the inheritance was conveyed by his sister, Irme gand, to George and Bernard, her two sons, by Vitus, Count of Rechtherg. George died unmarried, and the male issue again failing to the seven tons of Bernard, a new dynasty commenced in the family of Ulric of Freudsherg, who had espoused their sister, Barbara. He was a distinguished war rior, and promoter of the Snahian league, in the reign of Frederic the Third. His son George is styled Lord of Min delheim, Petrisherg, and Merteingen, Knight and Captain- General of the Emperor in Italy. "In 1554 the inheritance fell between the two sisters of George, Catharine, wife of Henry Otho, Count of Schwan zenberg, and Paulina, who espoused William Krell!, a Bo hemian Nobleman. By the marriage of Maria, only child and heiress of Otho. with Christopher„,,c (mot Fugger, that Nobleman obtained a share of the inlwritance, and baring put chased the remainder front the ,othei sister, united the whole in his own person. A dispute, however, arising be tween him and the persons who had advanced the purchase money, a compromise was effected. The Lordship of Min delheim, with all the other possess'ons of the 'poise of Frtudsberg,•was sold to M.iximilian Emanuel, Dtilie, and afterwards Elector of Bavaria. He wa - s confirmed in the pos session by the Emperor Matthias; but in consequence of an obsolete claim advanced by the house of ustria, the investi ture was coupled with an expectative, revertible to the Aus tiian family in failure of issue. It was afterwards conveyed in the same manner to his second son landgrave of Letteldtenberg. " During the dreadful war of thirty years, the possession of -the Lewes and castle was warmly contested, anti they were alternately occupied by the two hostile armies. The town was thrice taco and pillaged, and the castle burnt. The lordship was, however, restored at. , the peace of Westphalia to the house of Bavaria. On the death of Maximilian, Land grave of Leuchtenherg, without issue, in 1704, the Emperor Leopold considered the pretensions of his nephew, the Elector of Bavaria, as superseded; and appropriated this portion of the inheritr.oce, in virtue of the expeetative. " From this deduction it is evident that the lordship of Mindelheim was held as an immediate fief, descendible to the ferrate line, at (cast till it was -transferred to the Bavarian family. Hence attempts were made by tht friends of Marl borough, both before and after the investiture, to procure an 'atension of the grant to the female line: but although-the Emperor had rendered the princely dignity heritable by fe males, he could nut be persuaded to relinquish the chance of es entual possession, which he reserved to his own family, by the limitation of the patent."

VIRNNA, JUNE 3.—Letters from Constanti nople again speak of the difficulties that have arisen in the progress of the negociations bet ween ltussia and the Pot te, but it is hoped they will ultimately be amicably arranged. " The coachman of a Foreign Minister at this Court, being suspected of smuggling, was watched on his return from a journey, and was found to have with him a number of packets' addressed to his master. Respect for the character of the lat ter induced the Austrian Authorities to abstain from opening them, but they informed the Mini ster, who ordered the packets to be opened at his hotel, in the presence of a superior officer of the Customs. The packets were tumid to can tant prohibited goods, to the athoont of 20,000 flo rins. The coachman was immediately discharged by his master, and handed over to the Austrian Antborities. " Great preparations, according to the last ac counts, wrre making at li.agnsa awl Cattaro, for the reception of the Emperor and Eilipt CSS of Atisti in.'' The CITY of CIWENTRY, we find, is to be the scrne of Democratic invasion, as well as. that of IVesturinster. We hope that the Electors of both Cities will deeply consider the conduct of the ruf fian Candidates, and protect themselves from the disgrace and pollution of Spa-Seld Adventurers. The -Electors of West Minster have a gallant Can didate in Captain Sir MURRAY MAXWELL, who will defend the rights as well as fight the battles of his country. His humanity, his courage, his professional knowledge and skill in the favourite service of the Country, place him on an eminence to which all loyal Voters ought to look with hope and confidence. Thry are sure that such a man will never compromise his honour, and never barter away the rights of the people.
